Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, revealed what made her change her mind and finally approve of Travis proposing to Taylor Swift, despite initially disagreeing with her drinking habits.

Donna Kelce Reveals Why She Finally Approved of Travis Kelce Proposing to Taylor Swift Despite Early Concerns

Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, has spoken candidly about the journey that led her to support her son’s engagement to global superstar Taylor Swift.

In a recent conversation, Donna admitted that while she always admired Taylor’s success and kindness, she had initial reservations—particularly regarding the singer’s lifestyle. According to Donna, she wasn’t fully comfortable with what she described as “certain drinking habits” she associated with Swift early on, which made her hesitant when Travis first revealed he was serious about proposing.

“I’ve always wanted the best for Travis,” Donna explained. “When he told me about proposing, my first instinct was to protect him. At the time, I wasn’t sure if Taylor’s habits fit into the kind of long-term stability I imagined for him.”

However, over time, Donna’s perspective shifted. Spending more time with Swift both privately and during high-profile events, she said she witnessed a very different side of the pop icon—one that erased her doubts.

“What really changed my mind was seeing how genuine she is,” Donna continued. “Taylor loves my son deeply, she treats our family with respect, and she’s been nothing but supportive of his career. I realized my initial worries were misplaced.”

Sources close to the Kelce family say that Taylor’s efforts to bond with Travis’s parents—attending Chiefs games alongside Donna, joining in family gatherings, and openly expressing gratitude for their support—played a major role in winning over his mom.

Now, Donna says she couldn’t be happier about the engagement. “I see the joy on Travis’s face every day, and that’s all a mother could ever want. Taylor has become part of our family, and I’m proud to give them my blessing.”

The revelation offers fans a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes conversations that preceded one of the most talked-about engagements of the year. With Donna Kelce’s full approval, the wedding planning is expected to move forward with the strong support of both families.
